In a effort to pair two characters who have never met before, the author concocts a crazy story idea that defies geography and common sense.
The story starts when Ned Stark somehow arranges for Daenarys Tarygareyn to come to Westeros in secret to marry his son Robb. First of all where would Ned have the time and energy to devote himself to promoting this zany scheme? Why would Daenarys agree to this plan? why would she want to marry the son of one of her enemies that she plans to kill for removing her family from power? Why would Ned do something like this? He fought alongside his friend Robert Baratheon to remove the Mad King Aerys from power because of his tyranny and crimes against his family. Bringing back the Daughter of the Mad King would be a betrayal of everything Ned stood for and pit himself against his friend and foster brother in a dangerous war. Not to mention Ned is already keeping a deadly secret in the form of his natural born son. So why would he bring an unnecessary risk to his family?
But lets try to judge the story based on the premise of Robb and Daenarys being married. Nothing is done with this idea, the Northern Lords do not get a chance to show their reactions to Robb marrying the Mad King's daughter. There are no objections that get brought up and is all swept under the rug. The King of the North who has declared Independence. Everything proceeds accordingly to canon except for one exception.
The Battle of Winterfell. For some reason the Ironborn decide to attack Winterfell, depsite the fact that Theon is still in the North and the Ironborn had no plans to attack the Capital. Robb who is fighting in the Riverlands manages to travel back home to the North to fight off the Ironborn in Winterfell and arrives just in time to witness the birth of his first son, even though the Ironbron occupy Moat Coalin and Winterfell is thousands of milles away from the Riverlands. The battle would have been over already before Robb would even arrive to make a difference in battle.
The emphasis on Robb and Dany also undermines and neglects the other characters of the story who are just there as supporting characters for Robb and Dany's story instead of being independent characters with their own PO Vs.
A Game of Geographic nonsense and lack of common sense
